Air Nostrum About Alaska Airlines (AS)
Alaska Airlines (AS), founded in 1932, is a major full-service airline based in Seattle, Washington. It’s known for reliable service, strong regional connectivity, and a focus on the U.S. West Coast—though it also flies to Hawaii, the Caribbean, and select international destinations (Canada, Mexico). Unlike global alliances, Alaska is part of the Oneworld Connect program (partnering with American Airlines (AA), British Airways (BA)) and has a codeshare with Delta Air Lines (DL).
Alaska's main hub is Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), with key bases in: Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC), Portland International Airport (PDX), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). It serves over 120 destinations, with an outstanding network connecting small communities in Alaska and major cities on the west coast, as well as popular vacation routes to Hawaii.
Alaska Airlines In-Flight Services
Alaska offers a mix of economy and premium cabins, with inclusive amenities (unlike ultra-low-cost carriers).
- Seating: The legroom in economy class is 31 to 32 inches (the standard space for full-service airlines). The "Premium Class" offers additional legroom (34-36 inches) and priority boarding - included in some fares or requiring extra payment (depending on the route, booking in advance is the cheapest). First-class (domestic) seats are spacious (21-22 inches wide, 38-40 inches of legroom), and on some intercontinental flights, you can lie flat.
- Dining: All flights offer complimentary snacks (pretzels, fruits) and non-alcoholic beverages. Free hot meals (such as pasta and sandwiches) are provided in economy class for flights over 3 hours. First-class passengers can enjoy free meals carefully prepared by chefs, as well as wine, beer and spirits.
- Entertainment & Wi-Fi: Most aircraft have seatback screens with over 100 movies, performances and live broadcasts without TV for all passengers to watch. Almost all flights offer Wi-Fi access or streaming services (charges vary depending on the flight length).
- Special services: Reserve special meals (vegetarian, gluten-free, kosher) 24 hours in advance (no extra charge). Wheelchair assistance is free. Unaccompanied minors (aged 5 to 17) need to pay a service fee ($100 per segment) and must make a reservation in advance.
